Douglas project manager Dalton King is the newest member of Rotary International. He was inducted into the Douglas Rotary Club on October 16 at South Georgia State College.
In welcoming him to Rotary, Dr. Jim Cottingham reflected on their friendship that began at Coffee High School, where they graduated together in 1972. Soon after high school Mr. King moved to Atlanta and completed degrees at Atlanta Technical College and Georgia State University that boosted his successful career with AT&T and later IBM. Upon retirement in 2022 he returned to Douglas to be closer to family and manage various properties. Among his voluntary roles is his service on the Downtown Development Authority for the City of Douglas.
Douglas Rotary is a service organization seeking to advance the service ideals of Rotary International by investing time and resources in programs for children and youth, community development, disease prevention, family support, environmental health, and leadership development.
Rotary meets on Thursdays from noon to 1 pm at the South Georgia State College Dining Hall in Douglas.
